CityPass�, the consumer-friendly pay-one-price booklet bundling the best sightseeing in North America, makes visiting popular destinations this winter even easier, with the announcement of the Valid All Winter program. New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Seattle CityPass attractions will honor CityPass throughout winter. Typically valid for nine days from first use, the Valid All Winter program in four cool weather destinations gives both visitors and residents a chance to spread cultural entertainment over a period from December 15, 2004 to March 31, 2005. When arts and cultural institutions sizzle with some of their most impressive exhibitions, visitors from far and near can warm their imaginations � not to mention fingers and toes � discovering art, natural history, sky-high views, cruises, and iconic attractions.
Winter visitors can check their coats and umbrellas and linger within famous walls and spaces, spreading the pleasures over weeks rather than days. CityPass compliments convention and visitor bureau visitor value programs � Seattle�s SuperSaver, New York�s Paint the Town Red, Boston Overnight and Philadelphia Overnight -- that extend values for winter visitors with hotel packages, entertainment and prix fix menus. They are appealing to not only far-away visitors, but to locals for themselves and as an ideal guest room amenity.
Especially attractive is the chance for travel bugs to buy CityPass before the holidays and give immediate entrance to six major city attractions for half price, and three months in which to use the tickets.
This is just a sample of new sights, sounds and lights to banish seasonal chills:
� New York � MOMA reopens to throngs of dazzled visitors; The Aztec Empire gleams at the Guggenheim, with 450 art and cultural works never before available outside Mexico. The view from the Empire State Building and a Harbor Cruise are never the same twice. � Boston � The Harvard Museum of Natural History introduces Life�s First 3 Billion Years, life�s dramatic journey as a biological revolution that completely transformed our planet, while at the Science Museum, real lightning is created daily. � Philadelphia � The Franklin Institute�s walk-through Giant Heart exhibit pulses with interactive devices and information in four thematic areas. The National Constitution Center invites kids to be sworn in as a future president. � Seattle - Cruise in signature mists on Elliott Bay, view sunset from atop the Space Needle, and soar above the virtual weather at the Museum of Flight.
